REMARKS BY THE COMPILER. 

While preparing the material for a paper read in 1898 
before the Herkimer County Historical Society, I gathered 
from many records genealogical data relating to the family 
of William Feeter. The search was extended to Germany 
and Canada and the notes thus collected formed the nucleus 
of the appended genealogy. 

The coat of arms was obtained from Mr. Lucas Vetter, 
of Musberg, Germany, and verified by coiTespondence with 
members of other German branches of that family. It can 
also be found in Siebmachers German Heraldrj'. In south- 
ern Germany many families of the yeomanry and free 
peasantry have coats of arms and use them to this day, 
without making any claim of belonging to the nobility. 

It is not claimed that the family genealogy is complete, 
and I would request that corrections and additions be sent 
to me for future use. 

I take this occasion to express my thanks for assistance 
to many members of the family with whom I have corre- 
sponded, especially to Jacob W. Feeter, Esq., of New York, 
Abram E. Bellinger, Esq., of Little Falls, Mrs. James 
Weatherwax, of Manheim, and Mrs. Elizabeth Staring, of 
Little Falls, and to acknowledge with gratitude that Messrs. 
G. Herbert Carman Feader, of Fleming, Assa., Canada, and 
Mr. Howard C. Fader of Hainsville, Ontario, Canada, have 
done all the work relating to the Canadian branches of the 
family.

THE VETTER FAMILY. 

A Paper Read Before the Herkimer County Historical Society, at 
Herkimer, N, Y.. October 8th, 1898. 

The immijrrants from Germany commonly known as the 
Palatines, and their early sui-ressors were of the same im- 
portance to New York state as the Pnritans, Pilgrims and 
Huguenots to other American colonies. Driven from home 
by religions jierMeciition or liy the disastnnis consequences of 
religious wars, they all became the pioneers of civilization on 
this continent. The very outpost of white men in the country 
of the fiercest of the al)origines, the Iroquois confedenition, 
were those pious and thrifty Germans, who, coming from the 
valleys of the Rhine and the Danube, from the Vosges and 
the Black Forest, from the Palatine, Baden, Wuertemberg 
and the Alsace, ent€re<i the wilderness, braved its dangers 
and settled right amongst the most warlike tribe of all, the 
Mohawks. 

Is it not strange that many of the best works on Amer- 
ican hi-itory hardly mention the early German immigration < 
The influence of the German pioneers as a factor in the civili- 
zation of parts of this great country, and especially of the 
beautiful Mohawk Valley, is passed over, and the present 
generation knows little of their early struggles, of the hard- 
ships and privations they had to sutler, and of the many 
patriotic services which they rendered. 

It is our aim to reclaim from oblivion the early history 
of this advance-guard of white man's supremacy and to col- 
lect all such data and traditions which can still be ascertained. 
Time has effaced too many ()f them ! 



FEETER GENEALOGY. 



Some time last winter a member of the Feeter family 
asked me about the correct German spelling of the family- 
name. Making some investigations and corresponding with 
some members of the family, I became interested in the his- 
tory of it, pursued it as far as I could, and I present to you 
now what I have been able to ascertain by diligent research. 
The name of the family was originally "Vetter," and I shall 
use that name in this paper until the actual change of the 
name occurs. 

The Vetter family can be traced to one Lucas Vetter, 
whose death occurred in the year 1483 near Derdingen, in the 
present Kingdom of Wuertemberg, in the southwestern part 
of Germany. He evidently was the father of many children, 
nearly all of whom had descendants, and the name Vetter, 
(meaning cousin) appears not only frequently in his native 
land, but can be found in many parts of the present German 
empire. Many men of note and more than local fame trace 
their origin to this Lucas Vetter. The late prime minister of 
Wuertemberg, von Vetter, several well known artists, and 
the general of that name, famous during the Hungarian rev- 
olution of 1848, belong to the same family. The original 
Lucas Vetter was a blacksmith and freeholder. It was the 
custom in families to name the eldest son after the father, 
and he would generally follow the trade of his father. So 
we find that one Lucas Vetter, blacksmith, would succeed the 
other. Starting with the Roman Catholic church records, in 
which we find the first one of that name, we have to continue 
our searches after the end of the sixteenth century in the 
Lutheran church books. Numerous Vetters appear as 
"births" upon those ledgers of our existence, and again 
they disappear as "deaths," but through all this tangle of 
records runs steadily the name of the eldest son of the oldest 
branch, the Lucas Vetter, blacksmith and freeholder. Count- 

8 



FEETER GENEALOGY. 



ing the Lucas Vetter who died in 1483 as the Hrst, we find that 
Lucas Vetter the eighth was born in the year 1696, on 
November '2'M, and was niarri^'l in 1722 to Katharina 
Leniiinger name is indistinct in the- original re<'ord. ) It is 
prol)al)le that lie removed from his home in or nearDerdingen 
to Schoenaich, because we fiml the subsequent entries relating 
to this branch of the family in the records of the Lutheran 
church at Schoenaich, Kingdom of Wuertemberg. His 
eldest son was Lucas Vetter, the emigrant. It is certain that 
he had at least one brother. John, and jtossibly another, John 
Jost, or Ilanjost. 

Lucas Vetter the eighth had one brother, William, who 
served all during the wars of that period umler that great 
chieftain, Princn Eugene of Savoy. A prominent branch of 
this Vett+'r family in (Tt-rmany descends from him, and I am 
to that branch indebtetl foryreat assistance in my research. 

Lucas Wtter the eighth dieil jjrior to 17.')3. In the 
Lutheran chuich register of Schoenaich, we find under date 
of November 8, ll't'.i, the following entry: "Married. Lucas 
\'etter, blacksmith, son of the late Lucas Vetter, freeholder 
and blacksmith, and Agnes, daughter of the late freeholder 
and farmer, .lacob Wacker. Text of my sermon. Psalms 
ISHi-O-fi: 'The Lord shall ble^is thee out of Zion : and thou 
shall see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. Yea, 
thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon 
Israel.' " 

There is something prophetic in those verses as If the new 
groom then contemplated the long trip to America. During 
the summer of 17o4 he and his young bride left their native 
land and sailed on the good ship Neptune for the new world. 
On board of ship, as shown by the following certificate, a 
daughter was born: " September 19, 1754. was born on the 
high seas, in ship Neptune, of Christian and honorable

FEETER GENEALOGY, 



parents, Anna Catharina; her father was Lucas Vetter, her 
mother Agnes (born) Waoker, from Schoenaich in the County 
of Wuertemberg. The witnesses to her baptism were Michael 
Nestel, blacksmith, and his wife Dorothea. May the Lord 
grant that this child may remain faithful to her God and its 
baptismal covenants. — Extract from Church Register, S. W. 
Best, Chaplain of the Vessel." 

While many of the immigrants became " white slaves " for 
their passage money, Lucas Vetter must have been blessed 
with the goods and riches of this world, as we find that 
within the first year of his residence in this country he pur- 
chased two farms. He settled to the north of Stone Arabia 
and probably devoted his time to farming and following his 
trade, which, always one of the most useful ones, was of 
great importance in a new country. It is stated that he be- 
came at an early time well acquainted with Sir William 
Johnson. i 

By Chapter 1089 of the Colonial Laws, passed on July 
3, 1759, he became a naturalized citizen. In 1761 he appears 
in records as one of the original applicants for the Royal 
Grant, and in 1768 he became one of the three principal 
patentees of the Byrne Patent in Schoharie County. (See 
Landpapers, office of the Secretary of State, Albany, N. Y.) 

From various records it appears that in 176"2 one Johannis 
and Johannis Yost Veeder or Vetter lived near Lucas. Tradi- 
tion in the family here says that all Feeters descended from 
Lucas, the immigrant. It is more than probable that John 
came to this country and had descendants, who changed their 
name to Veeder or Vedder and mistakenly are considered as 
part of the well-known Holland Dutch families of that name. 
John Jost or Hanyost came over here, but according to tradi- 
tion preserved in the German branch, returned soon to his 
native country. John Jost's eldest son, Lucas, born in 1758, 

10 



FEETER GENEALOGY, 



died in 18<io in Germany, and one of his sons died in tlie war 
of Napoleon a^inst Russia in 1812, and a grandson died only 
last year at Schoenairh. The trade "smith" is still followed 
by that bninch of the family, which is now represented by one 
single male descendant, Lucas Vetter, living at Musberg, 
Germany. 

From the records of the Stone Arabia Lutheran Church 
we learn the following about the family of Lucas, the immi- 
grant : Wilhelm, his eldest son, was bom January 6, 1756. 
Consequfiitly Lucas, the other son, must have been younger 
than William. The records do not state when he was born. 

As the Canadian bninches of the family claim that Lucas 
was the eld-'st siiu. the followin;; ilates are referred to : 

Marriage (if Lucas .iiid Agnt-s, November 8, nTui. 

Birth of Anna Catharina, Sejitember 19, 17r)4. 

Birth of William, .January 6. 17.")B. 

This seems to dispose of tliis claim. 

If heretofore Lucas was always the name of the eldest 
chilli, it must be borne in miml that Wiliiain was named after 
Sir William .lohn.son, the i)atroii anil friend of the family. 

Agnes Vett«r died prior to 176r). In 1766 Lucas Vetter 
married again and his second wife was Maria Kva, the daugh- 
ter of Captain IVter and I^ena Serviss. By this intermarriage 
with the Serviss family, which was related to the first wife of 
Sir William .lohnson, Lucas Vetter became still more closely 
attached to the .lohnsons. 

In 1767 a daughter, Anna, was born. Tradition says that 
the names of the next children were Philip, Elizabeth and 
Christine. The youngest child was .lohn Vetter, born in 1779, 
who became the ancestor of the Hainsville branch of the fam- 
ily, now spelling the name Fader. 

The elder Luca.s, Ixtund by many ties to the .Johnson fam- 
ily and inlluenced by a Tory wife, followed the fortunes of 

11 



FEETER GENEALOGY, 



Sir John and removed in 17Si) to Montreal, where he died 
about 17S5. His son Lucas had grown up at Johnson Hall as 
a favorite of the old baronet, and a i>laymate of the younger 
members of Sir William's household, and as soon as hostilities 
began he enlisted in the Johnson Greens and fought on the 
side of the British during the whole of the war. After the 
Revolution he settled on bounty lands near Matilda, Canada, 
which lands are still in possession of the family. He died in 
1842, leaving many descendants living in many parts of Can- 
ada and the United States, respected and useful citizens of 
their respective communities. This branch of the family 
spells the name "Feader." 

Wilhelm, the elder son, and the ancestor of all the United 
States branch of that family, was brought up on the home 
farm and enjoyed such education as the Stone Arabia schools 
afforded. The great majority of the citizens of that vicinity 
were, like the Vetters, of sturdy German stock and many of 
them descendants of Palatine forefathers. They objected to 
the feudal manor which Sir William tried to create, they 
feared and they detested especially the foppish and arrogant 
manners of Sir John and his set. When the storm between 
the mother country and the colonies began to rise, there were 
no more patriotic and loyal Americans in the colony than the 
Germans in Stone Arabia. With them Wilhelm had grown 
up, and likely as a boy had listened to their discussions and 
complaints. Possibly home life with a Tory step- mother had 
separated him early from home intluences and she may have 
prejudiced his father against the boy who associated with the 
so-called rebels. 

In 1776 the Vetter family lived at Johnstown village and 
removed that same year to where now the city of Amsterdam 
is. Williams' afhliations did not suit the rest of the family 
and he left home. The tradition among his descendants is 

12 



FEETER GENEALOGY, 



that lie alone of the family embraceil the cause of the 
Colonies, and that finally he alone remained in the United 
States. The Canadian branch believes that several of the 
children remained here. I have not been able to verify this 
tradition. 

In the latter days of his life Mr. Feeter dictated to one 
Georj^e Heller, a school teacher, a short narrative of his ex- 
periences dnrinj^ the Revolution, which has since been ar- 
ranged by Jacob W. Feeter, Esq., of New York, his grandson, 
ami from which I quote freely and partly verbatim : During 
the spring of 177t) William enlisted in the company of Captain 
Emmanuel DeGraff at Amsterdam, Tryon county, and took 
part in scouting exi>e<litions to .lohnstown, Caughnawaga and 
the Sacandagti river. In June, 1777, he was drafted into the 
militia and joined the company commanded by Captain Abra- 
ham Yates, which went iij) to Fort Stanwix. and from there 
to the \Voo<l Creek, to obstruct the pa.ssage of that river by 
felling trees across. From there he returne<i to Amsterdam. 
His jiarents and brothers were enraged at him for takini; up 
arms against the king, and he was orderetl to leave liis home 
forever, an outcast. He left Amsterdam and went to his 
former home at Stone Arabia, staying sometimes at the old 
homestead, but more often at the home of the patriotic Gray 
family living in his neighborhood. At Stone Arabia he en- 
listeci in the company of Captain SufTrenus Cook in Col. 
Klock's regiment. Whether or not he took jiart in the battle 
of Oriskany is uncertain, but he mentions in his memoirs that 
he took part in numerous scouting expeditions of that time. 
In the spring of 1778 he was drafted for three months and 
and went with Cajitain Samuel Gray's company to L'nadilla 
to look for Tories and Indians. When the company reached 
Fort Herkimer, William was sent with an Indian prisoner 
back to Stone Arabia. After he returned from there the fort 

18 



FEETER GENEALOGY. 



was attacked by Indians and Tories. The company did not 
go to Unadilla, but was finally ordered to the Geisenberg, near 
Fort Plain, in the present locality known as Dutchtown, and 
remained there until the massacre of Cherry Valley, to which 
place it marched after that affair with the rest of the regi- 
ment. Feeter and another man were sent ahead as scouts to 
locate the enemy. The militia buried the dead and returned 
to the Geisenberg. 

An Indian band had made five prisoners at Stone Arabia 
and the company to which Feeter belonged was sent in pur- 
suit, but the redskins escaped. 

In February, 1779, Feeter enlisted again in Samuel Gray's 
company which was to convoy and protect thirty bateaux of 
provisions and ammunition from Schenectady to Fort Stan- 
wix. The opening of the river did not occur until April and 
the company was furloughed. While on furlough Feeter 
went with Captain Gray and others in pursuit of some Indians 
to Tillaborough. The transports arrived at Fort Stanwix on 
April 18, 1779, and Col. Van Schaick of the Continental Army 
took his command and the boating party to Fort Brainington 
on Oneida Lake, from whence he set out to destroy the 
Onondaga Castle, leaving the boatmen as a rear guard. The 
whole party returned to Fort Stanwix on April 25, after com- 
plete destruction of the Indian villages. The Gray company 
returned with the boats and thirty Indian prisoners to Schen- 
ectady. Twice more that spring they brought such transports 
to Fort Stanwix. In June, 1779, the whole of Captain Gray's 
company volunteered to join the division of Gen. James Clin- 
ton and took part in Sullivan's famous campaign. History 
records the valiant services of the boatmen who moved this 
big body of troops from Cooperstown down to Tioga and 
Wyoming, and during this campaign carried provisions, am- 
munition, prisoners and the wounded. The company finally 

14 



FEETER GENEALOGY. 



reached Eiaston, Pa., and from there marched home to Stone 
Arabia, which they reached in November, 1779. During the 
battle of Newton, so family tradition says, the two brothers 
met, Lucas being tlif-re as a soldier in the Johnson Greens. 
Verily, not the only instance during tlie Revolution when 
brother met brother face to face as foes. 

Again, in January, 1780, Feeter enlisted in Gray's com- 
pany, and all summer they were busy navigating the river to 
Fort Stanwix, Fort Schuyler, Fort Dayton, Fort Herk- 
imer and Fort Plain. On one of their trips they 
were warned by friendly Indians that Brant with a 
large force laid in ambush for tht^m above Fort Schuy- 
ler, and they quickly sent for reinforcements. The com- 
pany "being soldiers and sailors too," to quote Kip- 
ling, had only a small fighting force. Gen. Van Rt^nsselaer 
with some quickly coUecleil militia came to their as.sistance 
and convoye<i the party safely to Fort Stanwix. During Oc- 
tober, 1780, William spent a furlough at Stone Arabia, and 
while there the battle of Stone Araltia took place. He joined 
immediately the pursuing party and went with them to Fort 
Herkimer. Until ice stopp»^(l navigation he continuwl in the 
boating service. Early in 1781 he enlisted in the levies com- 
manded by Marinus Willett and took part in many .scouting 
parties. In July of that year he helped in the surpri.se and 
jmrsuit of Jacob Klock, a former militia officer who had 
turned Tory. Feeter was one of the scouts; they routed 
Klock' s party completely, captured arms and one scalp, which 
Andrew Gray took with him to Stone Arabia. 

Another Tory parly attacked early in September the for- 
tified house of Jacob Timmerraan in St. Johnsville. A troop 
of levies, among which was Feeter, followed the Tories to the 
northern part of the Jerseyfield, but they escaped. 

It would be too lengthy to enumerate all the different 

16 



FEETER GENEALOGY. 



scouting parties of which Feeter was a member. Willett kept 
his soldiers constantly moving and the service was very hard; 
long marches, lack of shelter and proper food and many false 
alarms proved great hardships to the troops. Feeter was 
variously stationed at Fort Plain, Fort Plank and Fort Herk- 
imer during the years 1781-82. 

In October, 1782, a large force corapos^d of British troops, 
Indians and Tories under Biitler and Ross appeared in the 
Mohawk valley. Feeter and two other young men started 
from Stone Arabia and traveled twelve miles to join Willett at 
Anthony's Nose, on the Mohawk river. He moved toward 
Caughnawaga along the south side of the river, when he was 
informed that the enemy was marching towards Johnstown 
by way of Tribes Hill. Willett sent from Caughnawaga Wil- 
liam Feeter and William Wallace as scouts to find the enemy, 
which they located at Johnstown, near Johnson Hall. Wal- 
lace returned and Feeter stayed at the jail with Captain Lid- 
die and his guard of six men. When Willett arrived in ad- 
vance of his troops, Feeter guided him within sight of the 
British, and he and Captain Liddle observed the enemy until 
Major Finck arrived with succor. Finck and Feeter were in 
advance of the troops who pursued the British until they 
were checked by superior numbers and until Finck gave 
orders to retreat, which was done. Soon Col. Willett came 
up with some militia and drove the enemy from the lield. 
Many of Feeter' s friends and neighbors from Stone Arabia 
had been wounded and he was ordered to proceed there to 
bring help and assistance for the wounded. Without rest or 
food he started for that place and returned early next morn- 
ing, but, to his regret, too late to join in the pursuit. 

Before the end of the war many Tories had returned and 
occupied their old homes again. This enraged the loyal party, 
and parties similar to the white caps of today would visit 

16 



FEETER GENEALOGY, 



the homes of the Tories at night and flog them %vithin an inch 
of their lives. Proceedings were begun against some of the 
Whigs and a number were cast into jail, but liberated soon 
afterwards by their friends, under the leadership of Wilhelm 
Feeter, who opened the jail with bars and sledges. That was 
the end of it. 

With the ending of the war Feeter returned to peaceful 
pursuits. All the lands owned by his father had been confis- 
cated under the acts of attainder, and he had no property of 
his own. He had to make a liarti fight for the recovery of his 
own share. He sold, sotm after the war, all his interests in 
Stone Arabia and elsewhere and purchased his homest«iil farm 
near Little Falls, northwest of the Revolutionary Fort Uiem- 
ensnyder, on Glen's Purchase. It is the farm now in posses- 
sion of the Goodell family, j)le;js:intly located and being fine 
dairy land. Of course only a small jiart of the laml had been 
cultivated before the Revolution, and the young soldier-farmer 
had to clear the forest and break the virgin soil. 

Early in 1782 he married Kliz-ibeth Bellinger, daughter of 
Adam Bellinger and Marie Elizjibeth Petrie, born March 23d, 
1766, who for 40 years was his loving wife and helpmeet. 
Twelve cliiklren were born to them, five sons and seven daugh- 
ters ; Adam, Eva, wife of Jacob Scott, William, Jr., George 
Henry, Eli/-ib*-th, wife of Danii'l Timnierman, Mary, wife of 
John C. Belliiigf^r, Catharine, (Katy. i wife of Peter Staring, 
Nancy, wife of William Himes, Dorothea, (Dolly,) wife of 
Abnim Fiysaman, Delia, wife of Jacob Small, Johannes (.loiin) 
Feeter and Peter Feeter. Nine of these had many children 
and the number of his descendants is large. 

His new home was located in a German neighborhood, all 
the friends were descendants of the early immigrants and 
there, at the Riemensnyderbush, around that old Lutheran 
Church, and the old burying ground, existed in those early 

17 



FEETER GENEALOGY, 



days a larger settlement than at the site of the present city of 
Little Falls. William Feeter soon occupied a leading position; 
his earthly goods increased from year to year, and he became 
the ownej'of many good and broad acres of land, and when his 
children startetl in life he had given them a fair education, 
and was able to give them a good start for the future. 

Mr. Feeter was appointed Justice of the Peace in 1791, 
and held that position for many years. Soon after the war 
he joined the militia and rose gradually to the rank of Colonel 
of the Herkimer regiment of infantry (the later 27th), which 
he commanded until and during the beginning of the second 
war with Great Britain. 

Colonel Feeter was not only prosperous but i)ublic spirited, 
and contributed liberally to all worthy enterprises. He was 
one of the original contributors to the Octagon Church at 
Little Falls; he continued his association with the Stone 
Arabia Church during his life and was the main support of 
his own, the Yellow Church, near his home. One of his grand- 
daughters, who remembers him well, describes him as a man 
not above medium size, of dark hair and complexion, quick 
in motion and quicker in temper, but kind of heart. He loved 
sociability and liked to enjoy the good things of life in wise 
moderation. His greatest enjoyment seemed to be the social 
gatherings on German holidays, Easter, Christmas and New 
Years, and in the fall a harvest festival for all his numerous 
family, help and neighbors, and at each time he offered plenty 
of good cheer and a hearty welcome. Another of his grand- 
daughters, still living, described the celebration of a New 
Year's evening to me. The large and commodious house was 
thrown open, tires blazed in all the tire places, many candles 
lighted the rooms, the tables were set in nearly every room of 
the house, and turkeys, chickens, roast pigs, hams and numer- 
ous "Mohawk Dutch" dishes loaded the tables and in the 

18 



FEETER GENEALOGY, 



miiMle of each stood a stparain^^ bowl of i»iuich. After the 
meal was disposed of the Colonel arose and sang a German 
hymn and then said a jiniyer of thanks. 'J'hen he would wish 
them all a Happy New Year, usually adding for each a sepa- 
rate twising remark which set them all in the best of humor. 
Later on the tables would be cleared away and the dancing 
began. Abnim Eysaman and Peter Staring, two of his .sons-

would join in the fun. In the intervals, the Colonel, who was 
a fine singer, would sing to their great delight i)atriotic and 
German folklore songs, and oft^n he wouhl call on Kaly 
Staring and Dolly Eysaman and h:ive them perform s(tme solo- 
dances, as they both were gnicefiil and skilled dancers. 

He became a c(ju)muuicaut of the Lutheran Church on 
Nov. 1st. 1778, at Stone Anibia. He was a regular attendant 
at cliunh ami insisted that all his family and help join him, 
which was imt always agreeable lo the younger set on account 
of the length of the sermons. 

In politics he was always a Federalist. 

In later years he suffered greatly from his wounds and 
the burdens of age made his (piick temper still more fiery. 
Like many of the heroes of the great struggle for freedom he 
felt .sonu'what disappointed in the results. The favors shown 
to many of the notoriously disloyal families would make the 
old soldier very angry, and it was best at such times not to 
go near him. Hut there was no man more highly respected 
in the community than the Colonel, and no father more be- 
love<l than he, and it is not the idle word of a chronicler that 
with his death, which occurred in KS44, in his 8:)th year, there 
passed away one of the sterling characters of his time. 

It would Mxtend this paper too far if I attempted to men- 
tion many of his numerous offspring. There was George 
Henry, well known as on attorney, as a public speaker and

as the agent of the great EUice estate; Johannes, the last to 
depart of all; Adam, a soldier of 1812, the eldest son, and the 
father of James and grandfather of James D. Feeter, who is 
now the eldest male descendant of the oldest branch of all the 
Feeters, Feaders and Faders in North America and Germany. 
A number of his descendants enlisted daring the i)resent 
war and several fought during the war of the rebellion in the 
Union army.

THE FIRST MAIL CARRIER WEST 
OF ALBANY. 

What Energy and Industry has Accomplished in the Mohawk 
Valley Within Eighty Years Past, 

Eighty yeai-s ago theiv was iiut a pcist ollice west of Solien- 
ectady, and no regular jiostal route even as far as that. 
What little mail Itii.siiicss there wa.s transacted at that point 
was carried between Albany and Sclienectaily as chance oc- 
curred. 

In 1707, Col. William Feeter, who was then living three 
miles north of the village of Little Fall.s, Herkimer County, 
established the first mail facilities through the Mohawk Val- 
ley, as a private enterprise. The entire mail that then went 
west of Albany wa.s carried on horseback. Perhaps it will 
not be amiss here to state th:it Col. William Feeter was born 
at Stone Anibia, in this county, February 2d, HaO. His 
father. Lucas Feeter, who was a native of Wuertemberg, Ger- 
many, stood high in the contideiice of Sir William Johnson. 
At the commencement of the Itevolution, ami after the death 
of Sir William, the Feeter family were so much under the in- 
flueiu-e of the Johnsons that ail of them, e.vcepting William, 
followed the fortunes of Sir .lohn Johnson, and went with 
him to Canada. William Feeter remained and took an active 
part in the Revolutionary War. He was frequently entrusted 
with hazardous and imi)ortant duties, which he never failed 
to discharge with jirornptness. After the war he settled upon 
his farm in Herkimer County, and cultivated the same for 
upwards of fifty years. He reareil a highly respected family 

21 



FEETER GENEALOGY. 



of twelve children, and died at Little Palls, May 5th, 1844, at 
the ripe age of eighty-eight years, lamented by a large con- 
course of friends. Daring his life he was an active member 
of the Fairfield Lodge of F. & A. M. 

Mr. Feeter being a man of marked intelligence and feel- 
ing the disadvantage that the people were laboring under 
through being deprived of facilities of getting letters, and 
more particularly newspapers, of which there was none printed 
west of Albany at that early day, conceived the idea of estab- 
lishing a mail route on private account. Thus, as stated 
above, in 1797 he fitted out his son, Adam, who was then a 
lad of sixteen years, with a good horse, well equipped with 
saddle and bridle, and large saddle bags, and sent him forth 
upon his mission. Young Adam's duty was to procure sub- 
scribers for newspapers and carry all letters entrusted to him 
between Albany and Little Falls on both sides of the river, 
and at Johnstowm and vicinity, through the Royal Grant 
north of Little Falls, and at German Flatts, and nearly to 
Utica, which was then the border of civilization, or nearly so. 
Adam met with signal success in procuring a large number of 
subscribers which he had to supply at their doors, and also 
was intrusted with all the letters sent and received by private 
individuals along his route, and also had the business of what 
few merchants then were trading in the valley. At that time 
there was only one store at Little Falls, ke^tt by John Por- 
teous, who done a thriving business, both with the white set- 
tlers and Indians, there being at this time a considerable num- 
ber of the latter in this vicinity. The only other store of any 
importance west of Schenectady was kept by one Kane just 
east of the village of Canajoharie, on the bank of the Mohawk 
River. The stone dwelling occupied by him, with its anti- 
quated roof, is still standing as an ancient landmark, but is in 
a dilapidated condition. These two merchants were his best

patrons, and Adam in his older days remarked to us, the 
mercliants, Portfous and Kane, frequently pave me much en- 
couragt^ment wh»-n I was "de,sjierately tireil and sore of rid- 
ing and cold and wet." 

Tlie writ^-r lias listened morn than once to accounts of 
Adam's iiardsliips and narrow escapes in various ways during 
the three years of his mail service. His customers being on 
both sides of the river it was UHcessjiry to eflFect a crossing 
quite frequently. Tliis genenilly had to be done by fording, 
for at that day there were no bridges and very few ferries. 
Freijut^ntly the stream was much swollen, which would com- 
pel him to swim his horse to the great danger of losing his 
life. In such instances he would get completely wet, in which 
condition he woiihl be compelled to ride the remainder of the 
day. The trip would gener.illy occupy from four to five days, 
and was jjerformed by him during three years withont inter- 
ruption. The writer has frequently conversed with him in his 
old age about Mohawk Valley matters in his younger days 
and gained much valuable information from him. At the 
time he was occupied in the mail service there was not a white 
family in the valley which lie did not know, and I have fre- 
quently heard him refer to many of ihem as among the most 
prominent, such as the Yates, (Mutes, Barhyghts, Schermer- 
horns, Tolls, Mabies, Van Antwerps, Myers, Swarts, Truaxes, 
DetJralTs, Marcellu.ses, Van Slykes, Putmans, Vo.sburghs, 
Conynes, Fishers, Fondas, Dockstaders, Veeders, Sprakers, 
Wagoners, Khuks and a host of others. During his visits 
to Albany he became acquainted with the Gtivernor and all 
the State officials, who entrusted him with the transmission 
of State jtapers for i^clienectady and points in the valley, and 
occasioiuilly they presented him with an extra fee for prompt- 
ness of delivery and close attention to duty. It was his pride 
to mention that in three years he had never missed a trip, lost 

23 



FEETER GENEALOGY. 



a single letter or paper, and had always delivered all monies 
and valuable securities to the perfect satisfaction of every one. 

In 1800 a government mail route was established, which 
was offered to him, but he declined, choosing to pursue a more 
domestic life. Shortly after this he married, and commenced 
the milling business at a place now called Ingham's Mills, in 
Herkimer County, which business he followed for a few years, 
but not hnding it to agree with his health he disposed of it 
and purchased a farm in Manheim, where he spent the re- 
mainder of his days. He died in 186i5, at the advanced age of 
eighty-three years. His memory will long be cherished by a 
large number of relatives and admiring friends. He lived to 
see the valley changed from a sparsely settled country to beau- 
tiful and well-cultivated farms, with numerous thriving vil- 
lages, large and extensive manufacturing, turnpike, plank and 
railroads, and telegraph lines; verilj^ wonderful improve- 
ments and inventions. And this was the man that carried the 
first mail in the Mohawk Valley ! This was the pioneer in 
the mail service west of Albany, which now stretches to the 
Pacific coast, with its thousands of branches. 

We have been informed lately that the weight of mail 
matter now carried and distributed west of Albany will not 
come much short of one hundred tons per day. All this has 
been accomplished within the space of eighty years. And 
now as we are chronicling the above the New York papers 
come to hand with the astonishing news that arrangements 
are about completed between the Postmaster-General and the 
H. R. & N. Y. C, Lake Shore and Northern Indiana Rail- 
roads to establish a daily mail line between New York and 
Chicago, (*) which will consist of four cars, each sixty feet 
long, and will not occupy more than twenty-four hours in 
running from one of the last named jilaces to the other. It is 
calculated that the weight of mail matter by this daily line 

24 



FEETER GENEALOGY, 



will not be less than forty or fifty tons a day. We are a pro- 
gressive ppople, and no one dares to venture a prediction as 
to what advanre will be made in tlie eighty years to come. 
We can only say in regard to mail matters, that the small be- 
ginning ('omiiiHiiced by the sixteen-year-old lad, Adam Feeter, 
now employs thousands of men, many horses and wagons, and 
a large amount of steam transportation to accomplish the 
needed service. — Fonda Democrat.

OBITUARY NOTICE OF ADAM FEETER 

At his residence in the Town of Manheim, on the 15th 
day of April, 1865, Mr. Adam Feeter, in the 83d year of his 
age. 

The death of this aged citizen ought not to pass without 
a special notice. 

Himself the son of a Revolutionary Patriot, he has spent 
a protracted life, as a private citizen, in the daily practice of 
the duties and virtues of humanity, as a citizen, a neighbor, 
a son, a husband and a father, and has descended to his grave, 
leaving to his children, what in reality, is their most precious 
inheritance, the unstained character of 

"An honest Man, the noblest work of God." 

As our aged citizens successively pass from amongst us, 
it is natural that the mind should revert to their earliest years, 
and follow them as they float along the stream of time, mark- 
ing the changes that have been wrought out in their passage 
from the vigor and buoyancy of youth to the decrepitude of 
age, and their quiet descent to their final rest. 

Whilst yet a youth, the subject of this notice was em- 
ployed for a period of three years as a carrier of newspapers 
and the mail weekly from the City of Albany to the "Royal 
Grant." The expedition was performed on horseback, and 
was attended with great labor, and required perseverance and 



FEETER GENEALOGY, 



resolntion to accomplish it. Neither the bridge which spans 
the Mohawk nor the turnpike was then in existence. What 
changes has he witnessed during liis protracted life I The 
Turnpike, the Canal, the Railroad, and the Telegraph, have 
successively wrought mighty revolutions in the business rela- 
tions of life, and in the social conditions of our citizens. 

Such retrospections with the consciousness that the sub- 
ject of this notice, in early life, was an actor in scenes which 
preceded all of these inijirovements, and that he regarded with 
interest their successive developments, must assuage and 
mod»-rate the grief of his family and friends at the departure 
of this venerable citizen.

DEATH OF JOHN FEETER. 

An Aged and Highly Respected Resident ol Little Falls Passes Away, 
A Worthy Son of a Patriotic Sire, 

Little Falls, May 22, 1892. 

Tbe venerable John Feeter passed away at 7:45 Saturday 
morning at his home on Bur well street, death having been 
caused by old age. He had been failing in health for the j)ast 
few months and was confined in bed only four days. He was 
conscious up to Thursday night and had lucid intervals from 
that time to the end. Death came peacefully, and thus passed 
away another citizen whose life had been part of the history 
of Little Falls and Manheim. He is survived by his wife, 
Nancy Failing, aged 82 years, and the following children: 
Jacob Feeter, a prominent lawyer of New York, Mrs. Mar- 
garet Alden, Mrs. Gertrude Crittenden, Mrs. Mary Easter- 
brook, New Haven, Conn., Mrs. Parmelia French, Buffalo, 
and Mrs. Cynthia Walker, Utica. Also seven grandchildren 
and nine great-grandchildren. ''Uncle John" Feeter, as he 
was familiarly known, was born at the old Feeter homestead, 
now known as the Goodell and Pickett farms, in the town of 
Manheim, November 30, 1804. He was the eleventh child of 
Colonel William Feeter and wife, and was the last of that 
remarkable and historic family of twelve children. He was 
married to Nancy Failing of St. Johnsville, September 17, 
1829, and they lived together over 63 years. Mrs. Feeter, 



FEETER GENEALOGY, 



who survives, passed her 82d milestone May IS. Mr. PVeter 
followed farming a niinih^r of years ami came to tliis village 
31 years ago and did r<>iisidt>ral)ie rontracliiig. He Imllt the 
highway leading to Timmerman's hotel and .set out the large 
trees that surrouinl EastHm Park. 11^ also assisted in the 
buihliiig of the Old Yflluw Tavern Church. His brother, 
Adam Feeter, was the first post-rider between Newport and 
Albany, and for twrj years his father, Colonel PVeter, who 
was a <lo.se friend of General Herkimer, maintained the ex- 
pense of this ancient mail service. The federal government 
recognized his valuable .services and subst'tiuenlly awarded a 
contnict for conveying the mail, which was continued l)y the 
family for many years. When Atlani Keeter died the funeral 
services were ht-ld at the Manlieira Center Church. The late 
Judge Beardsley, who was in attendance at the conclusion of 
the services, aro.se in his place and paid a high tribute to the 
decea.sed for the many kind and brave acts that he had per- 
formed. 

Colonel Feeter, the father of this large family, was one of 
the bravest patriots in this section during and before the Revo- 
lutionary i)eriod. He was a warm friend of Sir William 
.Johnson but espoused the federal cau.se. He belonged to ihe 
corj)s of forty picketl men, who were known as the Tryon 
County Bull Dogs. Ther>' were other F^t-ters living hniv then, 
who were the followers of Brant, the Indian sachem, and tied 
to Canada, where they remaine<l and slightly changed their 
n.-ime by iirHlixjng a Mc. This change of name is denied by 
the Canadian branches. Still there is some evidence that one 
part of the family adopted the Mc. Their descendants are 
now numerous in Canada. Uncle John had an old Hint lock 
musket he i)ri7,ed very highly that was curried by his father 
during the Revolution. It is in an excellent state of preser- 
vation, and it was his habit for more than twenty-five years 

29 



FEETER GENEALOGY. 



to load the gnn on the first day of January and fire it precisely 
at seven o'clock in the morning. On the stock of the gun 
there is a breastplate embedded which contains the follow- 
ing inscription: "Presented to Colonel Feeter by Henry 
Yauney of Johnstown during the first year of the Revolution- 
ary War and carried by him during the seven years' war." 

Uncle John also had another gun that had a history. It 
was one that the famous hunter "Nat" Foster shot the Indian 
with in the north woods and was used by him for many years 
as a trapper and hunter. 

The record of the Lutheran Church in Manheim kept by 
Colonel Feeter between the years 1812 and 1844, and preserved 
by John Feeter up to the time of his death, will be turned 
over to the Church for future reference. The corporate name 
was changed to the Franckean Lutheran in 1832. A new chiarch 
is now built on the site and the pulpit is supplied by Rev. 
Mr. Young. The record book of births and baptisms as started 
by Colonel Feeter is quite valuable and is as frequently re- 
ferred to as the old record of Rev. A. G. Rosecrantz. 

The first records are "William Feeter, born Feb. 12, 1756; 
Elizabeth Bellinger, (his wife,) born March 23, 1765." The 
last record is, "George Willard, baptized July 10, 1845. 
Parents, John F. Windecker, Laney his wife. Sponsors, 
William Hayes and wife." 

There are but few old families in town that are not related 
to the deceased and the aggregate of relations if counted would 
figure in the hundreds. The late Hon. James Feeter was his 
nephew. 

The funeral will be held from the house Wednesday, at 
2 p. M., Rev. C. S. Richardson officiating. Between the hours 
of 12 and 1 p. m. an opportunity will be given to all those 
who desire to see the remains.

HON. JAMES FEETER. 

Death of an Aged and Respected Resident of Little Falls^'Sketch of 
a Loag and Active Business Career. 

Little Falls, Jan. 24, 1892. Hon. James Feeter 
died at his home on Ann street last evening at 6:3(i o'clock. 
He had been ill four weeks, and last evening sank rapidly. 
The closing hours were peaceful to the aged merchant, who 
was conscious to the last, and seemed to sufTer no jiain. His 
death, although not uiiHxpected, was hastened by his en- 
feebled condition. Thus passed away a respected resident, 
whose remarkable business career covered a period of tifty- 
eight years in the same location. Hon. James Feeter was 
bom at Inghams Mills, in the town of Manbeim, Jan. 14, 
1800), and was consequently StT years old. He was married to 
Cynthia Small, Sept. 24, 1829, who died in 1878, after they 
had lived together nearly fifty years. Two children were born 
to them, the late William Feeter and James D. Feeter, cashier 
of the Little Falls National Bank, who .survives. Mr. Feeter 
was the grandson of Col. William Feeter, who participated in 
the battles of Oriskany, Stone Arabia and other important en- 
gagements, and the son of Adam Feeter, who was the firet 
post-rider in this section of the state. The latter died on the 
night that President Lincoln was assassinated, at the advanced 
age of 83 years. In 1831, Mr. Feeter moved to this village, 

81 



FEETER GENEALOGY. 



which then contained a small population. Three years later 
he engaged in the grocery business with Orrin Searles, and sub- 
sequently purchased his interest. In the spring of 1842 he 
met reverses by losing his entire stock of merchandise by a 
freshet, which was caused by a cloudburst that choked up the 
creek in the rear of his store, now known as Skinner run. 
Some of the goods were found lloating about St. Johnsville, 
so strong was the current and volume of water. He bought 
his goods of a firm in New York by the name of McCoon & 
Sherman, and wrote them a letter giving the details of his 
misfortune, mentioning the fact that he had money enough 
left to cancel his indebtedness, and would like to make ar- 
rangements for another stock of goods, providing they could 
wait for their pay. A reply came back requesting Mr. Feeter 
to bring an empty canal boat to New York and get what he 
wanted. In 1849 his store burned with the contents, which 
was a total loss. Many men would have been discouraged 
with this second calamity, so soon after the tiood, but not so 
with Mr. Feeter, who went to work with his remarkable busi- 
ness perception, built up a large brick block and laid the 
foundation of a large and valuable property, which was accu- 
mulated by honest and fair dealing. 

Mr. Feeter was one of a family of eight children, two of 
whom still survive, Mrs. Margaret Ayers, and William A. 
Feeter, aged 76, who resides in the old homestead at Snell's 
Bush. 

In politics he was an uncompromising Republican and the 
life-long friend of Thurlow Weed and Roscoe Conkling. In 
the fall of 1847 he was elected to the assembly from the second 
district of Herkimer on the whig ticket by a majority of 213, 
after a most exciting contest, over Judge Vickery, democrat, 
a noted politician at that time of the town of Ohio, and was 
one of the first whigs in the state legislature. The district 

32 



FEETER GENEALOGY, 



was 6<^) democratic, which was overcome by the Herkimer 
democrats votinp for Mr. Feeter. The Barnburners supported 
the regular Democratic ticket, and L. L. Merry of llion, who 
was younger than Mr. Feeter, was elected at the same time 
from the first district on the whig ticket by the .same major- 
ity. The decejised was prriminent in {tolitics in those days 
and was on intimate terms witli Governor John Yf>ung, Mil- 
lard Fillmore, then statf^comptrollnr, and Christoi)her Morgan, 
secretary of state. The \Vhigs had 7o majority in th*' legis- 
lature and Amos K. Bradley was speaker. When the Repub- 
lican party was or^caiiiz^^d Mr. Feeter did gooil service for 
better goTernment in this locality, ami was recognized for his 
valuable services by his party in being chosen a member of 
the statf coiiunittt^ and iirfsidnntial elector from this congres- 
sional district. He also was elected several times as i)resident 
of Little Falls. He was one of the organizers of the Little 
Falls National Bank, besidt's being a stockholder in the old 
National Herkimer County liank. He was a constant attend- 
ant of the Emmanuel Epi.scopal church, and his funeral will be 
held from there Tuesday, at 2 i*. m.

The funeral of James Feeter was solemnized at Emmanuel 
Church at 2 p. m. this afternoon. The Rev. Ernest Mariett 
conducted the burial services of the Episcopal Church. The 
choir chanted the burial anthem and the De Profundis in an 
impressive manner. Most of the business places along Main 
street were closed out of respect to the memory of the de- 
ceased. The bearers were James H. Ives, J. H. Bucklin, A. 
W. Shepherd, P. A. Conyne, E. C. Rice, Luke Snell, S. M. 
Richmond and C. E. Teall. The interment occurred in the 
Church street cemetery.

HON. JAMES D. FEETER. 

ThefoUowing is a recentlifpublisfied biographical sketch 
of Senator James D. Feeler of Little Falls : 

James I). Keeter, descended from cme of the oldest and 
most historical families in tlie Mohawk Vaiif^y, wius born in 
Little Kails .lune *Jt5. 1840, ami is the only surviving,' son of the 
late Jnmes Feeter. He receivetl a common school education 
and for many years was associated with his father in the 
grocery business. 

In 1879, the Little Falls National Bank was org:inized, 
and in 1880 James 1). Feeter commencetl his career as a banker 
as ivssistant cashier of that institution. Amos A. Bradley was 
the cai<hier and Seth M. Hichmond president. On the death 
of Mr. Bmdh-y in 1889. Mr. Fenter was advance(i to the re- 
sitonsililt' position of cashier, and <in the death of Mr. Rich- 
mond in IMiriliH was ukkIh president, a position he has honor- 
ably and elliciently filled since that time. Ljirgely through 
the superior (pialilications of Mr. Fleeter as a financier this 
banking house is one of the soVul linancial institutions of the 
Mohawk Valley. It is said of iSenator Feeter that during 
business hours and when beliin<l the i-ounter or seated in the 
<'ounting room of the Jiittle Falls National Bank he demands 
all that is th« bank's due ; but on the outside, after banking 
hours are over, he is the most libei-al. g-nial and affable of 
men. He is a member of Little Falls Lodge, No. 181, F. <St 
A. M., Astorogan Chapter, No. 161, R. A. M.,and Little Falls 

36 



FEETER GENEALOGY. 



Commandery, No. 26, K. T., past Exalted Ruler of Little 
Falls Lodge, No. 42, B. P. O. Elks, member of the Fort 
Orange and Albany City clubs, of Albany, N. Y., and other 
social and fraternal organizations. 

He is a large realty owner in Little Falls and his private 
business is an extensive one. He is a good judge of human 
nature and is freely consulted by his friends on business mat- 
ters, who place great reliance upon his judgment. His career 
as a banker, business man and citizen is marked with success 
and characterized by honesty, integrity and fair dealing. 

In politics. Senator Feeter inherited stalwart Republican- 
ism from his father. Since boyhood days he has always taken 
a deep interest in the affairs of his party and for many years 
has occupied a prominent position in the councils and con- 
ferences of party managers. For several years he served as 
acting chairman of the Republican County committee, and 
under his careful management the party was united, harmo- 
nious and always victorious. 

He has represented his town in county conventions and 
his county in State conventions many times. In 1876 he was 
elected a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 
Cincinnati and voted for Conkling for President as long as he 
was a candidate. He was one of the eleven delegates from 
New York who voted for Blaine instead of Hayes, when Conk- 
ling's name was withdrawn. 

Herkimer County's political history has been marked by 
most vigorous and long-continued factional contests, one of 
the most notable of which culminated in 1896, when the Re- 
publican County Convention split in twain and sent two sets 
of delegates to the State Convention. But so free from par- 
tisan bias, and so eminently fair had been the course of Sena- 
tor Feeter through it all, that his name appeared in both sets 
of delegates and at the State Convention he occupied the 

36 



FEETER GENEALOGY. 



unique position of being a recognized regular delegate and at 
the same time a contesting delegate for the position he already 
held. 

Many times Senator Feeter has been urged to accept 
nominations at the hand.s of his party and refused, being al- 
ways content to fight in the ranks. In 1898, at the urgent 
solicitation of his personal friends he announced his candidacy 
for the Republican nomination of Senator in and for the 33d 
Senatorial district, composed of the counties of Herkimer and 
Otsego. 

At this time the Republican organization in Herkimer 
County was divided into factions, an<l partisan feeling ran so 
high that a good portion of the Republic^in County ticket had 
been defeated in the fall of 1897, but the candidacy of Senator 
Feeter in 1898 saved the i)arty in Herkimer County; for the 
leaders of all factions unit^l in his support and in the conven- 
tion that followed, he was the unanimous choice of all the 
delegates and was accorded the privilege of selecting the dele- 
gates to the Senatorial Convention. At the Senatorial Con- 
vention held in Richfield Springs Senator Feeter was nomi- 
nated by acclamation and without opposition, a distinction 
that had not previously been accorded to any man in the ilis- 
trict in a great many years. 

In the election that followed Senator Feeter received 13,- 
933 votes and his Democratic opponent, Geo. M. Bristol of 
Otsego County, receivetl 1(1,874, making his majority 3,059 in 
the district. Senator Feeter's majority in Herkimer County 
that year was 2,131, while tiie majority for Governor Theo- 
dore Roosevelt was 1,1 7(i. He carried his home city by 664 
majority, the largest majority ever given a Republican candi- 
date in Little Falls. 

Entering the Senate at the beginning of 1899 Mr. Feeter 
was appointed Chairman of the Committee on Internal Affairs 

87 



FEETER GENEALOGY. 



of Towns and Counties, and a member of the following com- 
mittees: Cities, Revision, Banks, Public Health, Commerce 
and Navigation. Senator Feeter is not an orator, but he has 
a plain, straightforward way of expressing his opinions and 
conclusions that immediately won for him the respect and 
esteem of all his associates around the Senate circle. While 
he is a strong partisan and an ardent and faithful organization 
Republican, he maintained an independent attitude in the con- 
sideration of important legislative measures. Personally he 
was on most pleasant terms with the Democratic Senators as 
well as the Republican members, and when he asked a per- 
sonal favor in the consideration of a local bill he received 
favors from the opposition without question. 

In 1900 Senator Feeter went before his constituents and 
asked for a renomination. He bad no opposition in Herkimer 
County and was the unanimous choice at the Senatorial Con- 
vention. At the election that followed be received 16,052 
votes in the district and his Democratic opponent, Andrew 
Murphy, Jr., of Mohawk, 11,538 votes, making his majority 
in the district 4,513. 

In Herkimer County Senator Feeter's majority was 2,828, 
while the majoritj- that President McKiuley received was 2,708. 

In matters pertaining to the welfare and advancement of 
his native city Senator Feeter has always taken a very deep 
interest and contributes liberally to industrial, charitable and 
religious projects. Many years ago he was elected village 
treasurer. He also served a few years as a member of the 
Board of Fire and Police of the village of Little Falls, and the 
first Mayor of Little Falls, Charles King, appointed him a 
member of the Board of Public Works when this municipal 
board was organized under the city charter. He continued a 
member of the Board of Public Works until he resigned in 
1898 to accept the nomination for Senator.

years he attended school at the Little Falls Academy and sub- 
sequently studied two years at Fairfield Seminary. He after- 
ward took a two years' business course, at Peekskill Semin- 
ary, graduating at the same time with two or three others

whom his relations were quite intimate. Upon his return 
home he at once entered the National Herkimer County Bank, 
as book-keeper, in which position he remained for twelve 
years, securing the good will and cordial best wishes of his 
co-workers and of the officers of the bank. He subsequently 
rendered about two years service in the Little Falls National 
Bank. A little more than two years ago he married Miss

GEORGE A. FEETER. 

Died March 7M. 1888. 

This morning oiir vt-nerahle townsman, James Feeter, re- 
ceived a telegraph dispatf-h announcing the death of his 
)>r()tliHr. Gertrge A. Feeter, which occurred at his home in 
Grand Kapids, Mich., at midniglit last night. The canse of 
his deatli wa-s not state<l in the dispatcli and all that Mr. 
Feeter knows cono-riiing his lirollier's illness is that about a 
week ago he was suffering from rlieumatism. 

George A. Feeter was horn in the town of Manheim US years 
ago. For many years he was engaged in the grocery, tlnur 
and feed busine.ss in this village and amassed quite a large 
property, hut twelve years ago he met with busine.ss reverses 
and failed. He built and live<l in the handsome residence on 
Ganseviiort street now owned and occupied by Joseph Mullen. 
Mr. Feeler moved to Grand Uapids abt»ut seven years ago and 
engaged in the grocery and flour business. About IHri^ he 
married Miss Ursida Wright (sister of Miss Harriet Wright, 
principal of the Academy.) who survives him. They liad one 
child, Frank, who married Miss Addie Ingham of this village, 
and died here about ten years ago, leaving a widow and two 
children. 

Mr. Feeter leaves the following brothers and sisters : 
James Feeter, of this village; William A. Feeter, who resides 
on the old Feeter homestead in Manheim; Mrs. Margaret 
Ayers, of Amsterdam; and Mrs. P. W. Putman, of Fulton- 
ville.

FEETER GENEALOGY. 



For more than twenty years Mr. Feeter was a prominent 
merchant in Little Falls, and one of its most active citizens. 
Reverses against which no man can provide, overtook him and 
the earnings of a life-time were lost. Well advanced in years 
he moved to the west to seek his fortune, leaving all the ten- 
der associations of home behind him. His death under such 
circumstances is peculiarly sad. The remains will be brought 
to this village for interment.

FRANK A. FEETER. 

From Die Journal and Courier, May, 1878. 

The fell destroyer is indeed reaping an abundant harvest 
jnst now in our comnuinity. Home after home is enshrouded 
in tbe deejtest sorrow over the loss of those most loved. 

Among the sad atliictions of the hour none brings to the 
hearts of friends sincerer or more poignant grief than the 
death of Mr. Frank A. Fe^'ter, which occurred in this village 
on Saturday last. Frank had long been ill, and to those who 
noted the insidious progress of liis disease it had long been 
apparent that recovery was very improbable if not altogether 
hopeless; yet his buoyant nature until recently sustained in 
his heart, or at least in his outward expression, the confidence 
that he would after a little be well again. Last fall, accom- 
panied by his ever-faithful wife, he went to Minnesota to 
spend several months in the hope that the climate would 
prove beneficial. At first his highest hopes seemed about to 
be realized, but subsequently it became evident that no im- 
provement was being obtained, and early in the spring he re- 
turned to Little Falls, resignedly bearing up under so bitter a 
disappointment and calmly awaiting the end— always cheer- 
ful, patient and loving to the dear ones about him even in the 
midst of intense suffering. 

Frank" s youth was spent in Little Falls where he was 
ever a favorite of his companions. He was active, honest, 
generous, open-hearted, of noble im])ulses, of most pleasing 
manners, and of more than ordinary ability. After a prepar- 
es 



FEETER GENEALOGY. 



atory course at Phillips Academy at Andover, Mass., he en- 
tered Yale College in the year 1866, remaining there until the 
the year 1869; having won the high esteem of his teachers and 
the warm friendship of his fellows. At this time he decided 
to devote himself to mercantile pursuits. He entered at once 
into active business in Little Falls with his father, George A. 
Feeter, continuing at his duties until the business was closed 
by the reverses of 1876. During this time he became consid- 
erably interested in local politics and in 1874 he was chosen 
chairman of the Democratic committee for this county, which 
position he held until the time of his death. He was zealous, 
industrious and ever faithful to the trust thus reposed in him, 
doing his utmost to advance the interests of his political or- 
ganization. Had he lived, his labors, thus freely and self- 
sacrificingly given, would doubtless have been rewarded by 
his appointment to some honorable position within the gift of 
his party. 

His age was nearly twenty-nine years. His funeral will 
be attended from his late residence on Ann street this after- 
noon at 2 o'clock.
